1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
UPDATED: JUN 1, 2009 One of the worst lagers around is Kronenbourg from France. Typical lager tasted and apperance - quite a strong flavour compared to some lagers but no real surprise given its 5% ABV. I’m afraid I cannot be drinking Kronenbourg again it is well known for its hangover effects and having quite a lot of chemicals in so I would recommend avoiding this beer whenever possible.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle. Pours an effervescent clear straw color with a good white head. Aroma is light and somewhat sweet, with a smell of malt, earth, floral hops, and an odd skunkiness. Taste is fairly full, with a malty body predominated by a mingling of sweet hops and earthy grains and yeast. Thoroughly average overall, and actually rather good for the style.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. Aroma is malty and hoppy skunky.
Flavor is hoppy, crisp and watery. Nothing offensive here. This is completely drinkable for the genre. In fact, I could probably sling back a few of these in the hot summer sun, or the bleak darkness of the winter.

Another good drinking, summer lager. Goes down smooth with a taste of hops but not overbearing. Light, golden in color with a slight head. Much better than bud, but in the same class.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Available everywhere in France. Like the French Budweiser I suppose. Tastes a bit better, much more tolerable beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft in NYC. Aroma very subtle, slightly floral. Pours a light golden color, somewhat appetizing. No real discernable taste, but seeing as how so many other pale ales taste so bad, thats not necessarily a negative. Palate was smooth. Not a bad beer but nothing too special, very easy to drink.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 25, 2011 Love this, it gets a ripping by many , but its got a strong bitter taste matched by few lagers. Clean, crisp, perhaps a little skunky but I love it, I cant get it in Asia anywhere.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Lager look, lager smell, lagest taste, tons of carbonation, a bit like pop really.
Dull, standard lager.
